What does the statue represent in King Nebuchadnezzar's dream in the second chapter of Daniel? What is it saying about earthly empires and heavenly kingdoms? The Statue in the Book of Daniel pamphlet describes the meaning of the Head of Fine Gold, Chest and Arms of Silver, Belly and Thighs of Bronze, and Feet of Iron and Clay. A map of the ancient world provides context for the kingdoms that are represented by the statue segments, and a time line reveals the rise and fall of kingdoms between 600 BC to 100 AD. Daniel's interpretation speaks to the Scriptural truth that rulers and empires come and go, but God's kingdom, ruled by the Son of Man, will be everlasting.

Here is an example from the Scripture-rich Statue in the Book of Daniel regarding the interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream:
Head of the Statue (Daniel 2)
- The head of the statue, made from fine gold, represented the kingdom of Babylonia, which the Lord gave King Nebuchadnezzar to rule.
- The gold symbolized the superior power of Babylonia
Here's an example of an explanation of Daniel's Vision:
Vision of Beasts ? Lion (Daniel 7)
- More than 50 years after King Nebuchadnezzar's dream, Daniel had a vision about four great beasts (like a lion with eagle's wings, a bear, a leopard, and a terrifying powerful beast).
- The four beasts are four kingdoms. Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian kingdom is compared to a lion in Jeremiah 4:7; 50:44, and to an eagle in Ezekiel 17:3, 11, 12.
A time line from 600 BC to 100 AD reveals the events related to the ruling kingdoms that clarify the interpretations. Events include:
- The Babylonian Kingdoms and their rulers during biblical times
- The fall of Babylonia to Darius the Mede, who was succeeded by Cyrus the Great.
- Alexander the Great's conquest of Persia and its fulfillment of prophecy
- The rise of Rome and the Caesars.
